Cadbury recalls Caramilk chocolate blocks

Cadbury has recalled their popular Caramilk product due to pieces of plastic being found in their chocolate.

In a statement released by Cadbury today, Caramilk chocolate bars have been "found to contain small, flexible pieces of food grade plastic as a result of a machinery fault during the manufacturing process".

The Caramilk bars containing the plastic may cause minor injury if consumed.

The affected blocks are those with a best before date of 17/01/2019 and 21/01/2019 only.

Anyone who has bought those Caramilk blocks are advised to return it to where they purchased it for a full refund. No receipt is required.

The recall comes after the chocolate has been selling out across Australia, with blocks being auctioned off on eBay for upwards of $20.

The blend of caramel and white chocolate was first on sale in the 1990s, before being discontinued after four years.
